IMPROVEMENT IN FLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 130,435, dated August13, 1872.

Specification describing a new and useful Improvement in WoodenMold-Board Plows, invented by CHARLES C. LEWIS, of Gainesville, in thecounty of Sumter and State of Alabama.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side view of my improvedwooden mold-board plow. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved wooden mold-boardplow, simple in construction and convenient in use, and which may bemade at much less expense than when made in the ordinary manner, and itconsists in the construction and combination of various parts of theplow, as hereinafter more fully described.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the plow-beam, to the middle part of which is attached the upperforked end of the standard B. O is the share, in the upper corner ofwhich is formed a hole to receive the forward branch of the standard B,so that the said share may be supported by the fork of the saidstandard. D is the land-side, the forward end of which is attached tothe share 0.

' E is a brace, the outer end of which is attached plate, F. Gis thewooden mold-board, the forward end or foot of which is made solid and ofsuch a form as to fit into the cavity of the share, where it is securedin place by bolts passing through it, through the rear part of the share0, and through the standard B. I prefer a wooden mold-board on the scoreof lightness and cheapness; and for light soils or for furrowing itanswers the purpose satisfactorily. H is the land-side handle, which isbolted to the rear end of the beam A, and the lower end of which isbolted to the rear end of the land-side D. I is the mold-board handle,the lower end of which is bolted to the rear end of the mold-board G,and which is connected with the handle H by rounds, in the ordinarymanner.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. The arrangement of the standard B and brace E inconnection with the beam A, share 0, land-side D, and wooden mold-boardGr, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purposesset forth.

2. The iron plate F, interposed between the standard B, share 0,land-side D, and wooden mold-board G, substantially as herein shown anddescribed.
